Background:
This study was performed to investigate the clinical significance of miR-4535 and miR-1915-5p in severe chorioamnionitis.
Materials & Methods:
Amniotic fluid samples from 37 patients with severe chorioamnionitis were subjected to miRNA array analysis and ddPCR™. Diagnostic values were assessed using the receiver operating characteristic curve. The patients were separated into three groups according to Blanc's criteria.
Results:
The expression of miR-4535 and miR-1915-5p was significantly correlated with the copy number of 16S rDNA, had extremely high diagnostic accuracy for severe chorioamnionitis, and was linked to maternal and fetal inflammation.
Conclusion:
miR-4535 and miR-1915-5p serve as promising biomarkers for the diagnosis of severe chorioamnionitis.
